This paper presents some thermodynamic indicators useful for energy planning of urban areas, and for defining the scenarios of integrated low environmental impact energy strategies and actions in an urban area. It is based on the results of the energy balance of a reference volume obtained by the Ge
Each of the following sections carries one central thought, often summarised in one (bold-face) sentence. Together, these statements give an overview of some major long term issues of sustainable use of energy which humanity must face. No effort is made to argue all points, to be exhaustive, or go i
